GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MX26LV160 is a 16-mega bit high speed Flash
memory organized as 2M bytes of 8 bits or 1M words of
16 bits. MXIC's high speed Flash memories offer the
most cost-effective and reliable read/write non-volatile
random access memory. The MX26LV160 is packaged
in 44-pin SOP, 48-pin TSOP, and 48-ball CSP. It is de-
signed to be reprogrammed and erased in system or in
standard EPROM programmers.
The standard MX26LV160 offers access time as fast as
55ns, allowing operation of high-speed microprocessors
without wait states. To eliminate bus contention, the
MX26LV160 has separate chip enable (CE#) and output
enable (OE#) controls.
MXIC's high speed Flash memories augment EPROM
functionality with in-circuit electrical erasure and program-
ming. The MX26LV160 uses a command register to
manage this functionality. The command register allows
for 100% TTL level control inputs and fixed power sup-
ply levels during erase and programming, while main-
taining maximum EPROM compatibility.
MXIC high speed Flash technology reliably stores
memory contents even after 2,000 erase and program
cycles. The MXIC cell is designed to optimize the erase
and programming mechanisms. In addition, the combi-
nation of advanced tunnel oxide processing and low in-
ternal electric fields for erase and program operations
produces reliable cycling. The MX26LV160 uses a
3.0V~3.6V VCC supply to perform the High Reliability
Erase and auto Program/Erase algorithms.
The highest degree of latch-up protection is achieved
with MXIC's proprietary non-epi process. Latch-up pro-
tection is proved for stresses up to 100 milliamperes on
address and data pin from -1V to VCC + 1V.
